A few years ago, I saw an article on CNN.com about fonts being political and it instantly caught my eye, as I have never heard of that before. Being in the newspaper business, I found this very interesting and strange all at the same time. After all, fonts are only a style of text and their face value shouldn’t be taken as political. However, in the current atmosphere of the political world we live in, it appears they can be liberal or conservative. For example, Times New Roman is seen as a conservative font and Gill Sans MT is more liberal — and the most conservative font is Broken Planewing.
